From CEREBRUM2023

Written by Absolutely, Dave Hamelin

Lyrics

Daylight

Don't need forever, baby, I just need you here It's now or never, baby, don't you disappear I'll take the pressure, baby, you can lean on me Long as you stay Long as you're mine, love, oh my love

You was outside for too long You were running wild for too long Running out of ways to be impatient It's about time that you get home Losing hours in the daylight Confusing hours in the nighttime Can't stay still, can't just lay there Knowing that you're gone don't feel right

'Cause baby, I just need you here It's now or never, baby, don't you disappear I'll take the pressure, baby, you can lean on me (uh) Long as you stay (uh) Long as you're mine love, oh my love

From Dork

Absolutely on Dork

How ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!’ became RAYE’s Reading Festival finale

RAYE first used ‘WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!’ to open festival sets before it was released. By Reading 2026, it had become the emphatic final word in her first headline performance there.

How ‘Joy.’ takes RAYE’s sisters from tour support to the centre of the song

Amma and Absolutely are not simply guests on ‘Joy.’: individual verses, a Reading Festival appearance and the sunflower-filled Joymobile video place the family collaboration at its centre.

How RAYE’s ‘This Music May Contain Hope’ finds light across four seasons

RAYE’s second album uses autumn, winter, spring and summer to make space for grief, friendship, humour and the possibility of getting outside again.

Absolutely is making room for a little magic

With her Reading Festival debut behind her, Absolutely finally feels like the universe she imagined with ‘Paracosm’ is fully alive.
